<h3 id="rnn">RNN</h3>
<pre><code class="python">keras.engine.base_layer.wrapped_fn()
</code></pre>

<p>Base class for recurrent layers.</p>
<p><strong>Arguments</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>cell</strong>: A RNN cell instance. A RNN cell is a class that has:</p>
<ul>
<li>a <code>call(input_at_t, states_at_t)</code> method, returning
    <code>(output_at_t, states_at_t_plus_1)</code>. The call method of the
    cell can also take the optional argument <code>constants</code>, see
    section "Note on passing external constants" below.</li>
<li>a <code>state_size</code> attribute. This can be a single integer
    (single state) in which case it is
    the size of the recurrent state
    (which should be the same as the size of the cell output).
    This can also be a list/tuple of integers
    (one size per state).</li>
<li>a <code>output_size</code> attribute. This can be a single integer or a
    TensorShape, which represent the shape of the output. For
    backward compatible reason, if this attribute is not available
    for the cell, the value will be inferred by the first element
    of the <code>state_size</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>It is also possible for <code>cell</code> to be a list of RNN cell instances,
in which cases the cells get stacked one after the other in the RNN,
implementing an efficient stacked RNN.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>return_sequences</strong>: Boolean. Whether to return the last output
    in the output sequence, or the full sequence.</p>
</li>
<li><strong>return_state</strong>: Boolean. Whether to return the last state
    in addition to the output.</li>
<li><strong>go_backwards</strong>: Boolean (default False).
    If True, process the input sequence backwards and return the
    reversed sequence.</li>
<li><strong>stateful</strong>: Boolean (default False). If True, the last state
    for each sample at index i in a batch will be used as initial
    state for the sample of index i in the following batch.</li>
<li><strong>unroll</strong>: Boolean (default False).
    If True, the network will be unrolled,
    else a symbolic loop will be used.
    Unrolling can speed-up a RNN,
    although it tends to be more memory-intensive.
    Unrolling is only suitable for short sequences.</li>
<li><strong>input_dim</strong>: dimensionality of the input (integer).
    This argument (or alternatively,
    the keyword argument <code>input_shape</code>)
    is required when using this layer as the first layer in a model.</li>
<li><strong>input_length</strong>: Length of input sequences, to be specified
    when it is constant.
    This argument is required if you are going to connect
    <code>Flatten</code> then <code>Dense</code> layers upstream
    (without it, the shape of the dense outputs cannot be computed).
    Note that if the recurrent layer is not the first layer
    in your model, you would need to specify the input length
    at the level of the first layer
    (e.g. via the <code>input_shape</code> argument)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Input shape</strong></p>
<p>3D tensor with shape <code>(batch_size, timesteps, input_dim)</code>.</p>
<p><strong>Output shape</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>if <code>return_state</code>: a list of tensors. The first tensor is
    the output. The remaining tensors are the last states,
    each with shape <code>(batch_size, units)</code>. For example, the number of
    state tensors is 1 (for RNN and GRU) or 2 (for LSTM).</li>
<li>if <code>return_sequences</code>: 3D tensor with shape
    <code>(batch_size, timesteps, units)</code>.</li>
<li>else, 2D tensor with shape <code>(batch_size, units)</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Masking</strong></p>
<p>This layer supports masking for input data with a variable number
of timesteps. To introduce masks to your data,
use an <a href="../embeddings/">Embedding</a> layer with the <code>mask_zero</code> parameter
set to <code>True</code>.</p>
<p><strong>Note on using statefulness in RNNs</strong></p>
<p>You can set RNN layers to be 'stateful', which means that the states
computed for the samples in one batch will be reused as initial states
for the samples in the next batch. This assumes a one-to-one mapping
between samples in different successive batches.</p>
<p>To enable statefulness:
- specify <code>stateful=True</code> in the layer constructor.
- specify a fixed batch size for your model, by passing
if sequential model:
<code>batch_input_shape=(...)</code> to the first layer in your model.
else for functional model with 1 or more Input layers:
<code>batch_shape=(...)</code> to all the first layers in your model.
This is the expected shape of your inputs
<em>including the batch size</em>.
It should be a tuple of integers, e.g. <code>(32, 10, 100)</code>.
- specify <code>shuffle=False</code> when calling fit().</p>
<p>To reset the states of your model, call <code>.reset_states()</code> on either
a specific layer, or on your entire model.</p>
<p><strong>Note on specifying the initial state of RNNs</strong></p>
<p>You can specify the initial state of RNN layers symbolically by
calling them with the keyword argument <code>initial_state</code>. The value of
<code>initial_state</code> should be a tensor or list of tensors representing
the initial state of the RNN layer.</p>
<p>You can specify the initial state of RNN layers numerically by
calling <code>reset_states</code> with the keyword argument <code>states</code>. The value of
<code>states</code> should be a numpy array or list of numpy arrays representing
the initial state of the RNN layer.</p>
<p><strong>Note on passing external constants to RNNs</strong></p>
<p>You can pass "external" constants to the cell using the <code>constants</code>
keyword argument of <code>RNN.__call__</code> (as well as <code>RNN.call</code>) method. This
requires that the <code>cell.call</code> method accepts the same keyword argument
<code>constants</code>. Such constants can be used to condition the cell
transformation on additional static inputs (not changing over time),
a.k.a. an attention mechanism.</p>
